Gnomes + Santas + Elves

Dear users, dear authors,
it’s slowly becoming last minute for Christmas / Advent decorations, but there’s still room for a few gnomes, Santas, or even Christmas elves.
Give it a try right away.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

Elves are known to be mythical creatures said to have special powers. What special powers might the Christmas elf Elena have? She certainly has plenty of charm, and many people, whether young or old, will very quickly take her into their hearts.
Elena Elf will be 28 cm tall when made using the specified materials. I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all my stuffed animals and dolls.
The pattern includes many step-by-step photos that make it easier to recreate. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet stitches, increases/decreases, spiral rounds, etc.) are required.
The following materials are needed to make it:

• 100 g cotton yarn in soft apricot (skin-colored)
• 50 g cotton yarn in red
• 50 g cotton yarn in light green
• Leftover cotton yarn in white, reddish brown, black
• one pair of safety eyes, 9 mm, in brown-black
• stuffing
• crochet hook no. 3

Here is the pattern:

You should really have Santa finished by Christmas. But if not - it’s not so bad! Because you can also use him for Easter! How?
Just turn it inside out...
... and you’ve got a bunny for your Easter decorations!

This reversible doll is crocheted using Schachenmayr’s Catania yarn or a similar cotton yarn for a 2.5 mm hook. You’ll also need some fluffy yarn for the beard and the white fur, plus some stuffing and possibly safety eyes, and then you’re ready to get started!
You can find the pattern here!

These little snowflakes can also serve as winter decorations even after Christmas. With their fluffy, glittery dresses, they float gently to the ground and bring us the snow we’ve been longing for.

You’ll need:
Fluffy yarn (Doudou by Lang Yarns)
Cotton yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr in white and flesh tone)
Silver yarn (Glitter by Gründl)
Mohair yarn or white doll’s hair yarn for the hair
2.5 mm crochet hook
Stuffing
